The Switch 2 launched without variable refresh rate support, despite Nintendo's earlier promises that the feature would be available. The new 23.0.0 firmware update now enables VRR functionality when the console is connected to a TV.

VRR technology adjusts a display's refresh rate to match a game's frame rate, which can improve visual smoothness and reduce visual artifacts during gameplay. This brings the Switch 2 in line with modern gaming displays and other current-generation consoles that support the feature.
